I wife informed him supper was ready.
In reply he said lie did not care for
any. Later Mrs. Blair went into the
j room and found him dead. The dl
i rect cause of his illness and death may
; be attributed to the result of an acci
i dent a number of years ago, when he

deer in the vicinity of Sand Mountains.
A rifle ball of large caliber entered his
i back, shattering the backbone, tear
-1 ing oIT several ribs, and passed
I through the Hver and kidney. This
' would have killed an ordinary man,

j build, with a rugged constitution. lie

! of the Hopp Carriage Company, until
about eight we'eks ago, and since has
been confined to his home. In former
years he resided at Willlamsport, Har

NEW YORK EXPERT
GIVES TREK ON LEIKS
Editorial Associations Elect Offi
cers; Bressler Heads the
State Weeklies
O. H. BRESSLER,
Lock Haven, Elected President of the
State Association of Weekly
Newspapers
Previous to adjournment yesterday
afternoon of the State Editorial Asso
ciation, C. Goodwin Turner, of
New York, gave an instructive
talk on "Office and Circulation Leaks,"
which gave the visiting newspaper
men many an lnskie tip on ways of
saving money in the various depart
ments. Another address was that of
Jason Rodgers, also of New York.
Committees were appointed by the
Associations of Dallies and Weeklies to
act jointly in the matter of Auditor
General Powell's reduction of the
bills for advertising the proposed con
stitutional amendments where such
bills were based upon the regular ad
vertising rates of the several news
papers. Preliminary action was taken
in opposition to certain proposed radi
cal legislation providing for a mini
mum age limit of 16 years for news
boys. It is contended that reasonable
child labor legislation should be fa
vored, but theorists must not be per
mitted to write the laws of the Com
monwealth.
These officers were elected:

O. H. Bressler, who was elected
president of the Weeklies Association,
has been identilied with the State Edi
torial Association for a long time and
his election at this time, in view of
the recent stand the Lock Haven
Times, Mr. Breseler's paper, has taken
for prohibition, in the opinion of his
fellow newspapermen, has some sig
nificance. Mr. Bressler is strong for
the Republican party and a frequent
visitor to Harrisburg when State con
ventions and other important meetings
are held. He Is popular In Clinton
county and in his reference to the
newspapers of the State to-day highly
praised the Harrisburg Telegraph for
the manner in which it had stood for
a clean city, remarking, "It is the
paper the people want; not afraid to
take a stand for right."
Witnesses Say Murdock
Bill Will Be Effective
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Feb. 11. —"Curi-
ous and farcical results followed the
.Standard dissolution decree; it
did not enforce competition," Herbert
Knox Smith, ex-Commissioner of Cor
portions, told the House commerce
committee to-day at a hearing on the
Murdock Trade Commission bill.
With William Draper Lewis, dean
of the law school of the University
! of Pennsylvania, and D. R. ltichberg,
j of New York, Mr. Smith favored the
Murdock bill, embodying the ideas of
the Progressive party, as opposed to
tiie Clayton administration bill.
The Progressive witnesses declared
that nine out of ten dissolutions under
j the Sherman law were useless, that
i corporations controlling patent rights
lor transportation facilities could not
| be effectively broken up by the dis
solution proceedure, and that leaving
) the administration of the present laws
entirely to the courts was too cumber
some and inadequate.
